Biface Fragment, Rare Material XCB-003-657. \nXCB-003, or IZM-003, is a site meticulously tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It proudly serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village with an exceptional whalebone house and numerous artifacts remarkably similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. It dates approximately 1200-1350 CE.\nThe Alaska Peninsula artifacts are showcased as a direct result of the groundbreaking research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner leads this endeavor as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were meticulously scanned with either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processed in Geomagic or Polyworks, 2-8 photos were used to create the texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was conducted at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.\nMcCartney's findings are documented in his 1974 paper, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84. Maschner further explores this topic in his January 1, 2004, Arctic Anthro. article (vol. 41 no. 2), which can be accessed at doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
